The Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri is a koi that turns tradition into artistry. It features the bold black and white pattern of a classic Shiro Utsuri, layered with shimmering Ginrin scales and a soft shadowing effect known as kage. The black markings often carry a misted or blurred edge where they meet the white, creating a smoky transition that gives the koi visual depth and softness. The glittering Ginrin scales reflect light across the entire body, making each swim shimmer with contrast and motion.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we hand-select Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri koi for their sharp composition, clean body structure, and unique blending of texture and tone.

If you're looking for something both timeless and visually rich, this fish delivers. Browse our current selection and bring home a koi that’s bold, sparkling, and layered with quiet complexity.

KAGE GIN SHIRO UTSURI KOI FISH FAQS: GLITTERING SCALES, SHADOWED PATTERNS, AND CLASSIC CONTRAST

What is a Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri koi? Sparkle, shadow, and monochrome balance.

+

This koi blends the crisp black and white of Shiro Utsuri with Ginrin’s glittering scales and the kage effect’s smoky blending at the color edges. It offers bold contrast softened by light-reflecting detail and shadowed transitions.

How is it different from a regular Shiro Utsuri? Subtle shadow and scale brilliance.

+

While a traditional Shiro Utsuri has clean white and jet-black separation, the Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri has a more blended pattern, where black and white softly meet. The Ginrin scales add a layer of sparkle that gives the fish dynamic movement in the water.

Where did the Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri originate? A layered lineage from Japan.

+

This variety is the result of crossing Shiro Utsuri lines with Ginrin-scaled koi and selecting for the kage effect. Breeders like those at Kodama Koi Farm have helped refine this fish into a highly collectible type.

How big do Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri koi get? Broad canvas for bold detail.

+

They can grow to 26 to 30 inches in well-maintained ponds. Their full-bodied structure allows both the shimmer and the soft pattern blending to stand out more as the fish matures.

Are Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri koi easy to care for? Beauty without complication.

+

Yes. They are hardy, social, and well-suited to a variety of pond environments. Their strong coloring and glittering finish make it easy to monitor health and condition.

Do they do well with other koi? A stylish addition with calm energy.

+

Absolutely. Their black and white tones help create balance in ponds with more colorful koi, and their glittering finish adds visual interest without overwhelming the space.

What should I feed my Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri koi? Shine and sumi support.

+

Stick with protein-rich pellets that enhance scale quality and skin tone. Avoid color-enhancing feeds with high pigmentation, as these can affect the purity of the white areas.

Can I keep them in smaller ponds? Yes, but bigger ponds show more sparkle.

+

Smaller ponds work for juveniles, but to see the full impact of the kage effect and Ginrin reflection, more space brings out the fish’s movement and scale brilliance.

Is this a rare koi variety? Unique and limited.

+

Yes. Breeding for clean Shiro Utsuri patterning, high-quality Ginrin scaling, and a distinct kage overlay takes precision and patience. Few koi combine all three traits as well as this one.

Why buy Kage Gin Shiro Utsuri from Fitz’s Fish Ponds? Curated for clarity, movement, and depth.
